“Heaven” is a song recorded by American country music singer Kane Brown for the re-release of his self-titled debut album on October 6, 2017. It was released as the third single from the album on November 13, 2017.
The song was written by Shy Carter, Matt McGinn, and Lindsay Rimes. Billboard described it as a “romantic slow jam.” Kane Brown first discovered the song at a writer’s retreat where he heard it from through the floor while he was working on another song (“What’s Mine Is Yours”) upstairs. He decided to cut it because it instantly reminded him of his fiancée.
“Everybody’s talking about heaven like they just can’t wait to go
Saying how it’s gonna be so good, so beautiful
Lying next to you, in this bed with you, I ain’t convinced
‘Cause, I don’t know how, I don’t know how heaven, heaven
Could be better than this
I swear you’re an angel
Sent to this world
What did I do right to deserve you, girl?
I could stay here forever
I’d be fine if we never had to even leave this room”
The song reached No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart dated May 19, 2018, becoming Brown’s second No. 1 on the chart. It also reached No. 2 on the Hot Country Songs chart. It has sold 722,000 copies in the United States as of April 2019. It was certified 5× Platinum on January 27, 2020 by the RIAA for 5 million units in sales and streams in the United States.
The music video for “Heaven” was directed by Alex Alvga and released on October 6, 2017. In it, Brown performs the song in a white T-shirt and jeans alone at a microphone stand in a room lit with an assortment of candles.
